MEETING MINUT ' REGULAR CITY ~~MMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 15, 1997 Mayor Taylor said he will not support this approval because he is not satisfied with the applicant's explanation of why this time extension was not filed in a timely manner. He does not want to restart a precedent of approving these retroactive time extensions. In addition, he is not comfortable with this financial situation. Commissioner Tillman agreed with Mayor Taylor's remarks and felt the applicant had a very cavalier attitude, and he was not comfortable with this request The motion failed 2-3. (Mayor Taylor and Commissioners Bradley and Tillman dissented.) C. Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Grove Plaza Julian Bryan and Associates Dr. Walter H. Janke and Ms. Alice Fay Southeast corner of Hypoluxo Road and Lawrence Road TIME EXPENSION - Request for approval of a one-year time extension for subdivision master plan approval and concurrency to expire March 19, 1998. Susan Delegal, Attorney, represented the petitioner. She introduced Julian Bryan, the Planning Consultant for the project. This project will be a retail commercial use with lot coverage of only 8%. There will be six freestanding buildings with a considerable amount of green space around the project. The TRC and the Planning and Development Board approved the time extension. The most important reason for the delay relates to the Gateway Boulevard widening project. Prior to the letting of the contract, there was a restriction with regard to the amount of square footage that could be built The project can now buildout the entire 35,000 square feet, and the applicant has every intention of proceeding with this project. Tambri Heyden, Planning and Zoning Director, had no additional comments, but reminded the Commissioners that the Planning and Development Board unanimously recommended approval of a 12-month time extension. (Chairman Dube confirmed for the Commission that although the agenda back-up material noted approval with a 5-2 vote, the vote was unanimous.) Mayor Taylor referred to the Planning and Zoning Department's Comment #1 on Exhibit "0" wherein there is a recommendation for denial of this request. However, the TRC recommends approval. Ms. Heyden explained that the TRC does not look at land use and design issues. They support this application because it was filed in a timely manner. Motion Commissioner Tillman moved to approve Development Plan "C", Grove Plaza, at the southeast corner of Hypoluxo Road and Lawrence, request for time extension of one year for the subdivision master plan approval and concurrency to expire March 19, 1998. Vice Mayor Titcomb seconded the motion. Vice Mayor Titcomb confirmed with Commissioner Tillman that his motion included the one-time only condition recommended by the Planning and Development Board, and would exclude the Planning and Zoning Departments'C'omment #1 as depicted on Exhibit "0". 10 . -----r MEETING MINUTl REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 15, 1997 The motion carried unanimously. D. Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Crystal Key at Woolbright Place PUD Kenneth H. Kruger, P. E. Kennedy Homes East side of SW 8th Street approximately 2,200' north of Woolbright Road. SITE PLAN. Request for site plan approval of a .32 acre recreation area to include a pool, cabana, and parking facility. Kenneth H. Kruger, Project Engineer, and Steven Brexel of Kennedy Homes, were present to represent the petitioner. This site plan is for the recreation area. The recreation requirements for the parcel have already been met through a donation to the City. This particular recreation area is above and beyond any of the Ordinance requirements for the project. This project will include a small parking lot, swimming pool and small cabana with lighting for the parking lot and landscaping. The applicant concurs with all of the staff conditions of approval with the exception of Comment #12. Comment #12 was a recommendation from TRC that the pool be larger. Since there is no requirement for the pool, and Kennedy Homes feels the pool is of sufficient size, Mr. Kruger requested approval of this application excluding Comment #12. Tambri Heyden, Planning and Zoning Director, had no comments on the action taken by the Planning and Development Board or the staff comments. She explained that this private recreation area is not required. The recommendation in Comment #12 is in conflict with our own Codes. She does not recommend including it. Commissioner Jaskiewicz expressed her opinion that she would like to have seen more grass and landscaped areas. Motion Vice Mayor Titcomb moved to approve Agenda Item IX-D, site plan request for recreation facility at Crystal Key at Woolbright Place PUD, subject to staff comments with the exception of Comment #12 of Exhibit "C.. Commissioner Bradley seconded the motion which carried unanimously. E. Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Hampton Inn at Quantum Corporate Park George F. White A. I.

Chip Carlson, representing BOYllton Beach Hospitality Inc., introduced Mike Pinocos, President of Boynton Beach Hospitality Inc., George White, the architect, and Kevin Hall, the 11 --T--- MINUTES __ PLANNING AND DEVELOP. .NT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 8, 1997 Motion Mr. Rosenstock moved to deny this time extension as requested for the Brisson Medical Building located at 305 S.E. 23fd Avenue. Mr. Aguila seconded the motion. Mr. Reed did not see any convincing rationale for approving this time extension. Mr. Rosenstock did not think there would be a problem approving a time extension if the applicant had a letter of commitment from a bank or financial institution showing that the financing is in place. The motion carried unanimously. Consensus With regard to the request for direction in the first paragraph on page 2 of Planning and Zoning Department Memorandum No. 97-129, it wa's the consensus of the board that retroactive time extensions should not be approved. 2. Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Grove Plaza Julian Bryan and Associates Dr. Walter H. Janke and Ms. Alice Fay Southeast corner of Hypoluxo Road and Lawrence Road Request for approval of a one (1) year time extension for subdivision master plan approval and concurrency to expire March 19, 1998. Attorney Jerry Nide represented the applicant and advised that this request for an extension is timely. The reason for the delay in getting this project going had to do with concurrency. He recently received a letter dated March 24, 1997 from the Palm Beach County Department of Engineering and Public Works stating that the contract for the widening of Gateway Boulevard from Congress Avenue to Military Trail has now been awarded and this project meets the traffic performance standards of Palm Beach County. Mr. Nide said the phasing of this project was tied to the widening of Gateway Boulevard. There were also problems with respect to getting sewer and drainage to the site. The applicant is in the process of actively continuing the platting process and is negotiating contracts with parties who are interested in this site. Chairman Dube pointed out that the Planning and Zoning Department recommended denial of this request based on four reasons. Mr. Nide and Mr. Bryan addressed those reasons as follows: 4 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPIl ~T BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 8, 1997 . Staff Comment: This property represents speculative development as it has had a commercial land use designation for almost seven years without building construction. Mr. Nide stated that when this property was annexed into the City, it was given a local retail commercial land use designation because this parcel possessed a County commercial low land use plan designation and because the narrow configuration of the parcel would make residential development of the property very difficult. Mr. Nide stated that the comments refer more to the merits of the master plan than to the request for an extension. At this time, Chairman Dube welcomed Mayor Jerry Taylor to the meeting. . Staff Comment: The proposed uses do not minimize negative impacts on the adjacent large lot, single family neighborhood to the south. Mr. Nide stated that there is approximately 29,000 square feet of building area. On an 8+ acre site like this, you would typically see something in the range of 80,000 square feet of retail. Therefore, this is substantially lower than what can possibly go on this site in terms of retail development. This site was master planned to limit access to the adjacent roadways, limit the impact on the adjacent roadways, and limit the curb cuts. It is a low intensity development. When this project was first approved, there was a condition of approval that at the time site plans are brought in for the individual parcels, detailed site development regulations will be provided to govern architectural features, access, lighting, design, etc. All of this will be master planned so there is a similar theme regarding development of the property. . Staff Comment: The proposed lot arrangement (numbers of lots) and building layout (lack of unified structures with architectural, landscape and signage controls) reflects strip commercial and does not employ planning principles that will ensure an attractive, quality development. Julian Bryan, Planning Consultant for this project, was not certain what the basis for these comments were. He called staff several times; however, the Director has not been able to return his calls over the last month and a half. He stated that this is the same staff who reviewed this 18 months ago and did not have these comments. He went through three TRC meetings regarding site planning issues. such as the rear access drive that connects all six building pad sites and parcels. the location of access points onto Hypoluxo Road, the placing of a wall along the rear property line, the significantly greater building setbacks that are presently required by Code, etc. There are general notes on the plan representing that the first site plan would be the one that 5 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELeJ. MENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 8, 1997 would establish the design guidelines, architectural elevation, building colors, textures, roof details, signage, and uniformity of landscaping. The applicant recognized that there needs to be a property owners association that will maintain the common elements. Not only has this site been significantly underutilized, but the applicant has provided additional safeguards with additional setbacks, wider landscape buffers, and placed the dumpsters about 60 feet away from the property line to try to minimize odor. All of the dumpsters are set up so that they work in one direction. . Staff Comment: Development of this type will encourage similar development on the vacant parcel on the southwest corner of Lawrence Road and Hypoluxo Road. Mr. Bryan felt it would be good if the southwest corner was developed similarly. The large national franchise people are going more often to freestanding sites. This would provide an opportunity to have a group of freestanding sites with control and internal circulation. There will be cross access easement~ internally for all vehicular access. There is an opportunity to go from one site to another without going on the street. You can go from the residential development area south on Lawrence Road into the site without going on Hypoluxo Road and going through the' intersection. Mr. Nide advised that he had no objection to staff comment 2. Mr. Myott pointed out that the general notes mention similar exterior colors; however, they do not mention textures, signage, or similar architectural forms or elements that tie the site together. Mr. Nide stated that approval of the master plan was conditioned upon brif'lging in site development criteria, guidelines, or standards that would govern the development of the site at the time the applicant comes back with the first site plan. Mr. Aguila wanted continuity of architectural style and he wanted all tenants to abide by it, regardless of their corporate identity. Mr. Nide stated that he recently worked on a similar situation in the City of Sunrise and developed guidelines that had a palette of colors that were complimentary to each other, architectural styles that were complimentary, and signage guidelines that were complimentary but would still accommodate the unique requirements of the individual tenants to a degree. Mr. Aguila stated that the two easternmost parcels are restaurants. Restaurants have unique requirements such as loading, can washing, and cooler placement. He asked if the applicant is confident that he is going to be able to isolate the smelly and noisy activities from the residential to the south and other parcels. Mr. Bryan answered affirmatively. He pointed out that the setback on the easterly structures is about 90 feet from the south property line. This provides an opportunity to create a substantial area north of the rear access road that connects the six parcels. This is one reason why the 6 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMEr BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 8,1997 applicant placed the dumpsters to the greatest extent possible on the north side of that road. Mr. Aguila asked when the road work will be finished. Mr. Nide did not know. Mr. Aguila wondered if the applicant will return to this board if this work takes more than a year. Mr. Nide advised that the issue that solves the concurrency problem and allows the applicant to go to the next phase of the development is the actual letting of the contract. He did not think the applicant has to wait for the actual construction. Motion Mr. Aguila moved to approve the request for a one time only 12 month time extension for the Grove Plaza project located at the southwest corner of Hypoluxo Road and Lawrence Road, subject to all staff comments. Mr. Elsner seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. 8. Site Plans New Site Plan 1. Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Crystal Key at Woolbright Place PUD Kenneth H. Kruger, P.E. Kennedy Homes East side of S.W. 8th Street approximately 2,200 feet north of Woolbright Road Request for site plan approval of a .32 acre recreation area to include a pool, cabana and parking facility. Kenneth Kruger, Engineer for Kenneth Homes, agreed to all the conditions of approval in Exhibit "C" except 12, and requested clarification of 13. Number 12 is a recommendation only. The developer posted an amount of money to the City in lieu of having to put any kind of recreation area in this project. He is providing the recreation at his option. Kennedy Homes has built a number of communities throughout Palm Beach. Broward, and Dade Counties and is familiar with what makes a successful community. In addition, the single family lots are of sufficient size so that small swimming poolS can be built by the individual homeowners. Mr. Myott asked if staff based this recommendation on the Swimming Pool Code. Mr. Haag advised that the Development Department felt that the size of the pool is similar to a single family residential size pool and seems too small to offer as an 7
